French legend Patrick Vieira launched a fierce attack on his country's national team after the loss to Spain in the 2026 World Cup semi-final.

Spain secured the first spot in the 2026 World Cup final, scheduled for next Sunday, with a valuable 2-0 victory over France in the match that brought them together on Tuesday in the semi-final.

After the match, a real sense of disappointment prevailed among the French national team fans, especially with Spain's clear superiority in the match.

For his part, Patrick Vieira, sports analyst on ITV, expressed his regret for the lackluster performance of Didier Deschamps' men.

He said: 'We expected a lot from France in this tournament. We are all very disappointed with the result, and especially with the performance, because we needed our best players to deliver a special performance today, which they did not.'

He concluded: 'It wasn't just one or two players who missed the chance to reach the final, but all of them... We were all very bad.'
